Where I worked, we had a storage room cleaning day. In the garbage can I saw an expensive Fluke. It was tossed for a bad lcd display. I said that I could look at it, but they insisted that it was junk. I took it home (with permission), took a pencil eraser to the contacts on the board, and I have been using it for the past 15-years. Also in the pile was a set of various leads for it that I rescued as well.

You aren't my kid, but I'm damn proud of you!

Four wire resistance reading is the absolute most accurate

I really like your educational deeper dive videos. Explaining everything to beginners as they were a 5 year old. Sometimes I feel like one 😂, been hobbyist long time but recently, like for a past year and a half I am trying to do more frequent and serious repairs or just check ups and diagnostics.
Anyways  some might see these kind of videos boring, but believe me, they have their purpose so please keep them coming. It's always nice to have someone who's willing to put in an effort just to make things as clear as possible regarding their capabilities of clearing things up, and you are doing it just fine. All your videos have value 👍🏻
About the gear, yeah, it's great to have the best tools, but tools have to make their earnings, so it doesn't matter if I love your reviews or recommendations, some stuff will just have to wait if there's much cheaper tool to do the job and earn the budget for upgrade eventually. So with all you shared one can visit your channel and see what you recommend or what you use, the stuff you compared and shown how they act in different scenarios...there's a lot and you're covering it all - awesome, these are really valuable information for people who can't try them all👌🏻
Thank you for everything, you're appreciated 🖖🏻

I love these general tutorial style videos. Keep them coming

First of all, excellently presented, but oh my word how nice to hear a human voice. Great video with very interesting points spread all the way through.

Just wrote 2 pages notes based on this video. Learned a lot from you. Thanks man!

I did not know this. Thanks for the comprehensive coverage 😁

Diode mode with the red lead on ground is the king of short detection because if energy can flow in the opposite direction of the expected flow then there is a good chance something is wrong. Many ICs have output transistors that can be NPN with their emitter to ground and also there are TVS diodes everywhere. A diode drop from positive to negative is normal but not so much from negative to positive or something in between.

I was taught back in the days of vacuum tubes and no meter had diode mode.  We just looked for a 10:1 front to back ratio on diodes.

Thanks, man. This is a great tutorial on multimeters. Just what I needed.

Once you've used diode mode, there's no going back.

Thanks a lot!!!!

pretty cool video and very Relevant!!!!

thx for the shout out 🙏

That's very helpful and finally sheds some light on why diode mode is used. So far I only used it to check if TTH LEDs are working correctly 😅 Will start using it more.

Another idea for a tutorial video that came to mind would be "How to set up your microscope". Because I had never worked with one before it took me quite a while until I had figured out that the height matters, which adapter I need to mount it etc.

I like your voice tone, clear and cool

Very helpful information. Thanks for the explanation; I try to tinker with electronics as a stress relief/mini hobby but sometimes it induces stress 🤣 a lot of times I'm just left assuming things based on what I see on YouTube since most people just do and not explain why.

I just bought the 1241. Great video, thanks.
